- <p> DIED. DINAH SHORE, 76, entertainer-golf tourney sponsor; of
- cancer; in Beverly Hills, California. Born Frances Rose Shore
- into one of the handful of Jewish families in Winchester, Tennessee,
- Shore first gained fame in the '40s as a singer with hits like
- Yes, My Darling Daughter, Shoo Fly Pie, and a hugely popular
- 1947 cover of The Anniversary Song. A string of amiable if largely
- forgettable movie appearances set the stage for her phenomenal
- success on television with The Dinah Shore Chevy Show (1956-63),
- famous for Shore's closing warble of "See the U.S.A. in your
- Chevrolet" and an exuberantly tossed kiss. In the '70s Shore
- helped pioneer the now inescapable daytime talk-show format--and earned the admiration of some middle-aged women for her
- highly public relationship with Burt Reynolds, 19 years her
- junior.
